Patriotic jewelry designs are most versatile. Just change the colors and you’ll be able to match whatever nation’s flag colors you fancy. Julie Bean used long Miyuki magatamas to create the Wreath of Independence bracelet. Wreath is a great name for it and also reminds us that with some color changes, it could be a Christmas one too.

I just finished this piece last night and the tutorial is also ready. I used a mix of plenty of seed beads, Miyuki cube beads, Long Magatamas, 6MM Fire Polish crystals, and Twin Beads. The goal is to use long magatamas.

I decided it would be fun to replace the 8/o seed beads in a Dutch spiral with magatamas. They would look fantastic snuggled into the beadwork, and spiraling around the chain. After some debate, I settled on a palette of brown and gold to contrast the green and blue, and lend some more organic flair to the leafy shapes.
